Wakelin
Minutes:
Councillor Pepper left the Council Chamber.
Consideration was given to a report of the Corporate Director, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application to renew a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence from GM.
GM attended the meeting along with his wife and both addressed the Committee.
In making its decision, the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines. On the basis of what it heard, the Committee was satisfied on balance that no exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from this policy.
RESOLVED:
To refuse GM’s application to renew a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence on the grounds that he is not considered to be a fit and proper person.
GM was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
Councillor Pepper returned to the Council Chamber.
